Jeez, this thread explains why I’m bumping into so many unnecessary backups on the thruway. Drive whatever speed you want- in the right lane. In the left lane, drive fast enough to pass decisively...

First thing I do when I get a new hat is start training the brim. No fucking flat hats. Not ever.

For your upstate enjoyment

Well, I guess was asking for it but it still stings

A sawzall would get it off

Holy shit. I remember that too.



I loved Schoolhouse Rock. I got them all on DVD when my first son was born

Thank you
its looking pretty green up there at the moment

It’s a region, not just a direction

Did you have to look at your phone for the number?

Yeah, my twenties were fun. Strong as hell, doing stupid shit all the time. I was broke all the time but didn’t need much money back then. I settled down towards the end of my twenties, got married...

That’s not a brick. This is a brick

Fred Ward. I always found him like-able. Tremors was a really fun movie, The Right Stuff etc

How old are you?

My wife just texted me a meme that said Dazed & Confused was released in 93 and set in 76 so a comparable movie today would be about the class of 2005.

Basinger

Yeah, college. Drinking literally all night at 242nd st. Or at some atrocious dive in Troy when I was home. Helping the bartender clean up and mop so we could keep going after they closed at 4 AM....

I thought that story was going a whole ‘nother way. Appropriately upstate though - both in the puking and the anti-climatic ending.

I didn’t watch the whole thing til just now. That’s a great video

Yeah, I kind of agree that the outrider should have just let go and let one of the others take over. Who knows why a horse bites one horse and leaves another one alone? Just adjust. And that aerial...

Anybody got video of the biting? I can’t find it.

Horses bite. Just something they do. It feels like somebody grabbed three or four inches of your skin with a pair of angle grip pliers and squeezed as hard as they could. I don’t recommend the...

Lifeproof used to be the pinnacle in my opinion but now that phones are more water resistant on their own and otter is making more streamlined stuff that’s what I buy. I think Otter bought Lifeproof...

And now I'm wondering if 42 has something to do with 4:20. How far back does that go? Was Douglas Adams ever a liftie? The questions go on and on.

First of all, let’s give GL credit for some superb showmanship, assuming he hasn’t been lost in a black hole. The anticipation is killing me.

Secondly, 42? Shit, what was the question again?

I did that to the front of my van at one point during my ski bum period in my twenties. With the benefit of hindsight, I wonder if I couldn’t have found a better solution

This is kind of cool. It’s not doing any overlanding in downtown White Plains. Of course it might have done some off-roading someplace between here and California.

You see, that’s a much more credible proposal. It shows a more nuanced understanding of the border areas.

I know I’m gonna regret this but to be fair, he did propose the commuter train rule in the upstate thread which, while I don’t subscribe to it myself, has some merit. I mean, not a lot of merit....

Not sure of the exact trails but you had to ski down to the bottom of the Topridge chair and take it back up. From there you could download the Gondi or walk to an open trail down to the bottom via...

I didn’t see it right away either. The sign is is on the back wall of the cabin. Nice

Maybe this is why the WNY have such a hard time accepting the upstate designation. We’ve been telling them when we should have been showing them. Oh wait, that’s Missouri. Forget it

That’s amazing. The writer seems to be surprised that it was on the south side of the St Lawrence- liking encountering one on the north shore of the river would be no big deal.

Great last day at Gore btw. Apparently May 1 is a record

And it looks like eastern Suffolk county is unclaimed territory.

Beautiful day for number 100. Great job.

I don’t think I could ever go full polyass. I’m not organized enough to maintain a proper enemies list.

I’m trying to get there Sunday if they make it

My NYSB career actually predates my TGR presence. I need to reread that TR. I must have missed some posts after people started commenting prematurely. Benny apparently didn’t know you have to throw...

I agree. While upstate is not always a safe place (drunk drivers, obsolete bridges, rusted abandoned factories etc) I think this thread should be safe for all, especially native upstaters- which he...

So awesome- don’t turn your back on upstate. All kinds of shit can go wrong.

That’s a good one there GL- of my favorites- nice little Rockland county brewery there. It’d be better if the pic was from the top of the Corning Tower or something though.

Which actually makes me feel really fucking old now that I think about it cause it was that kid’s brother’s wedding in Chicago on Saturday.

In the early nineties my other BIL use to bring a six pack into yankee stadium in the bottom of my nephew’s diaper bag. That saved us some money

I’m in. I feel like an underdog with M2711C in the running but I will endeavor to heed his advice and swing for the fence from now on. Is there enough metal in a beer can to set off a metal detector?

Me and my son road-tripped it so it was Upstate sourced inventory and it was actually the Lincoln Park zoo so it was more like just having a beer in a park. If I’d gotten a couple into Wrigley it...

I spent the weekend in Chicago attending a wedding and ended up seated between a guy from PA and my BIL and wouldn’t you know it the upstate question came up. I was pretty disappointed that my BIL...
